Ken Butler's Hybrid Musical Instrument Sculptures - Neatorama

Artist and musician Ken Butler makes hybrid musical instrument sculptures out of boots, weapons, tools, furniture. He has even staged performances where he played his eccentric instruments: Link | String Hybrid Instrument Gallery - via Jaf Project

the thing that makes it more than a cute gimmick is he's actually interesting to listen to play. what he can do with a blowing on a strip of dental rubber is quite masterful.

I have seen several shoe-horns, but that is the first boot-guitar i have seen.

I second Ken Butler's Performance Skillz.

I've seen him twice on either coast and he is great.

When i saw him he was self-looping his music with a lexicon jam man, doing his own accompaniment. Plus when he plays that dental dam he sounds like Dizzy Gillespie . Not like just a trumpet but like Diz.

Check out his you tubes

I hope that I see this in reality because their design is unique and strange, but all in all they are truly works of art.
